SAYE

Being in the bottom of the mood is not the worst experience. What is more uncomfortable than being in the bottom of the mood is that the mood falls directly from the sky to the bottom of the valley.

A good mood is simply smashed to pieces.

It had been a long time since Jiang Cheng felt such a strong blockage in his heart, and he and Gu Fei sat on the chairs in the hall on the first floor for almost 10 minutes and couldn't get over it.

Li Baoguo's disease can basically be determined what it is, lung cancer, Jiang Cheng stared at his fingers, his lungs are not good, he coughs every day, and now there are words like radiation and chemotherapy.

Jiang Cheng felt as if he was sinking at the bottom of the vortex, surrounded by noise, but the ear was eerily quiet.

He was very clear about why Gu Fei didn't let him go there.

The money on his card is enough for tuition and life, but he has no income. Before he can really support himself, every penny of expenses has to be taken from here.

Whether Li Baoguo still owed the money to the hospital, he was not sure, but once he passed, he could basically imagine what kind of situation he would face.

This matter is different from Li Baoguo being surrounded and beaten. At that time, he was half for venting and half for Li Baoguo. He could rush to fight with people, but now.

A security guard came out of the elevator, trotted to the entrance of the inpatient department, greeted two policemen, and led them into the elevator again.

"Let's go." Jiang Cheng rubbed his face a few times, and stood up. He didn't want to see Li Baoguo being brought out by the police for a while.

Gu Fei got up and walked out of the hospital with him.

After Jiang Cheng left the hospital, he walked directly to the bus stop, but Gu Fei gave him a tug: "Let's take a taxi."

"Oh." Jiang Cheng stopped, stood aside and watched Gu Fei hail a taxi.

"Want to eat at my place?" Gu Fei asked him after getting into the car.

"No." Jiang Cheng only felt his head swell.

"Then I'll accompany you to eat something later?" Gu Fei asked again.

"I don't have any appetite right now." Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and pinched the center of his brows. "I'll go directly to Li Baoguo to wait for him in a while. If he is taken away by the police, he should come back at night."

"En." Gu Fei seemed to want to say something more, but he didn't speak after taking a breath.

The car stopped at the intersection, and the two got out of the car.

Jiang Cheng looked at the road that led to Li Baoguo, since he took the things from Li Baoguo that day, he never walked through that street again.

Looking at it this way now, the street is dilapidated and calm. In the warm yellow lights lit up in the buildings on both sides, it looks like a peaceful family. But what kind of people and what kind of homes are there underneath? , then no one can imagine.

"I'm going." Jiang Cheng threw his schoolbag over his shoulder, as if making up his mind, "Go back to the store, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay," Gu Fei replied, Jiang Cheng turned around and was about to leave, but he hesitated and called again, "Brother Cheng."

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng looked back at him.

"I don't know what you think," Gu Fei said softly, "It may not be appropriate for me to say this, but I still have to remind you."

"Let's talk." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"Don't take money first," Gu Fei said, "Li Baoguo really doesn't necessarily spend money on medical treatment. You may not have seen a person who puts his life after many things, but he is."

Jiang Cheng looked at him, and nodded after a while.

"He still has two children," Gu Fei said, "If you want to do something, first look at your brother and sister's attitude before you think about it. You have to...learn to leave your own way."

"Understood." Jiang Cheng walked back and stood in front of Gu Fei, looking at him.

"Don't think I'm indifferent," Gu Fei said, "I grew up here, I've seen too many of these people and these things, I'm used to judging like this, you don't have to be as extreme as me, but you can't be too naive either. "

Although when Gu Fei said such words, there would be an illusion of strangeness, but he still felt warm. Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and scratched his arm: "I see."

When Gu Fei returned to the store, several people had already prepared the meals, Gu Miao had already eaten, and was arranged by Li Yan to go to the hut to do homework.

"What's the matter with Li Baoguo?" Luo Yu saw him coming in and asked.

"I don't know, lung cancer." Gu Fei went to the backyard to wash his hands, went into the hut and stayed with Gu Miao for a while before coming out and sitting at the table, "Drink something?"

"Drink!" Chen Jie picked up two bottles of wine from the ground and put them on the table, "I'll wait for you to come back and drink."

"I don't have it." Gu Fei said.

"Li Yan won't let it go." Zhao Yihui smiled beside him.

"Taking advantage of others all day long." Li Yan said.

"Come on," Gu Fei poured himself a bowl of soup, "You didn't even get paid when you came to help."

"That's still different." Luo Yu opened a bottle of wine and poured wine into each cup, "Why didn't Jiang Cheng come over?"

"How could he come here?" Li Yan clicked his tongue, "Come here to listen to our discussion about Li Baoguo's death."

"To be honest, I didn't really notice it. Anyway, he was like that all day long, and his face was ugly," Chen Jie said. "I came across him playing cards all night when I came over last week. Cards are more important than fate."

"Have Li Hui and Li Qian come back?" Li Yan asked.

"I haven't seen it before." Gu Fei said.

Aside from Li Baoguo's desperate efforts to persist in his great career in poker, he really didn't seem to care much about other things. After eating, Gu Fei picked up the credit book and flipped through it. Li Baoguo had bought yogurt since his last visit. After that, I never came back.

It's been quite a while, and it seems that this time he was indeed seriously ill. Gu Fei closed his notebook, if it was really lung cancer... He had been coughing for a long time, so long that Gu Fei almost couldn't remember what it was like without a cough, but recently Even his voice has been hoarse for more than half a year. Judging from his usual living conditions and time, if this is lung cancer, it must not be in the early stage.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on Jiang Cheng's chat box. There was no news from Jiang Cheng, but it was only a meal time, and Li Baoguo might not come back... He slowly scrolled through the message records, All the way to the head.

He didn't send many messages to Jiang Cheng, he sat in line during the day, and made phone calls directly at night when he couldn't send a few messages, but he still remembered the situation and mood at that time for all the records.

"Does Jiang Cheng have some money himself?" Li Yan sat beside him.

"Well, a little bit, it was given to him by his adoptive mother before." Gu Fei said.

"Tell him not to be stupid, just take out the money to see a doctor for Li Baoguo," Li Yan said, "That person will definitely not use it in the right place, just take it to play cards."

"I told him," Gu Fei threw the phone on the cash register, "It's up to him."

"Why do I feel like Xuan," Li Yan said, "He looks like a young man from a big city, he probably can't imagine what kind of people can be produced in an environment like a steel factory."

"What are you worrying about?" Gu Fei glanced at him, "If you really took the money, it wasn't yours."

"I'm feeling sorry for my life." Li Yan smiled and stretched his waist, "I'm sharing your worries for you. I don't even play games anymore. I'm in a daze with this place."

"Get lost." Gu Fei said.

"May I say one more thing before you get lost?" Li Yan said.

Gu Fei didn't make a sound.

"If he really wants to spend money for Li Baoguo, don't try to stop him too hard," Li Yan said, "To avoid making people think that you are too heartless, Li Baoguo will die if he continues like this, so why should you keep a barrier in his heart. "

"Do you know why you are thin?" Gu Fei said.

"I'm not thin." Li Yan pinched his waist.

"If you don't worry so much, you can still grow some flesh." Gu Fei said.

Li Yan smiled: "Why do I become buddies with a bastard like you, I can't get a good word out of it."

"Thank you." Gu Fei smiled at him.

The phone still had 9% battery. Jiang Cheng glanced at the time, took a power bank from his school bag, plugged it in the phone, and stuffed it back into his school bag.

He had been sitting on the stone pier under the tree at the entrance of Li Baoguo Corridor for two hours. Fortunately, when he came, it was past the off-duty time, and there were not many neighbors coming and going.

He could actually go to the rented house. He didn't throw away Li Baoguo's key, but to be honest, he didn't want to stay alone in that musty smelling house. All sorts of weird smells.

A house that is obviously occupied by people but not popular makes people feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, and the whole person's mood will be depressed after staying for a long time.

After more than half an hour, when the cigarette in his hand was about to run out, he finally saw the figure of Li Baoguo walking over from the street.

It's also quite miraculous that he could recognize Li Baoguo with just such a figure against the light.

Li Baoguo walked very slowly, walked downstairs to the house where the card players played, raised his head and yelled twice to the second floor above, someone poked his head out, he didn't know what to say to that person, Jiang Cheng heard it He said "Come over in a while", and then he continued to walk over here.

Jiang Cheng pinched his cigarette and stood up. Li Baoguo never looked this way. After he stood up, Li Baoguo looked this way as if startled, and then froze.

"You... are back." Jiang Cheng didn't know how to start.

"You? Who are you?" Li Baoguo held a wine bottle in his hand, and he was very angry when he opened his mouth, "You, you, who are you?"

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but could smell the alcohol.

After Li Baoguo finished speaking, he coughed at him, the cough was heart-rending, with a snoring sound of phlegm stuck in his throat.

Jiang Cheng didn't back away, and waited silently for Li Baoguo to stop coughing at him whether it was on purpose or not, before he said, "I want to talk to you."

"Talk," Li Baoguo sneered, and then spat at his feet, "It's so elegant, I don't understand what talking is."

Jiang Cheng was silent again.

It wasn't that he wanted to be silent, with Li Baoguo's attitude, he really didn't know how to speak again, and he didn't know what else to say next.

Li Baoguo didn't say anything else, he coughed again and then turned and entered the corridor.

Jiang Cheng bypassed the mouthfuls of phlegm he spit out, followed into the corridor, and then followed Li Baoguo into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, seeing the darkness and clutter in his eyes, he felt blocked in his heart, and went to open the closed window.

"The wings are pretty stiff, and it's fun to fly?" Li Baoguo sat down on the sofa, "Fly over here to see if I'm dead or not?"

"What's the matter with your illness?" Jiang Cheng asked directly.

"Yo," Li Baoguo laughed and coughed again, "My youngest son knows I'm sick?"

Jiang Cheng realized that Li Baoguo had lost a lot of weight through the light, but his face and neck were a little swollen.

"Lung cancer, late stage." Li Baoguo got up and poured some water from the thermos, but he didn't see a trace of heat. Surgery, cancer surgery is useless! Now it is said that my body can't bear the surgery, let chemotherapy or something, fart! Changing tricks to cheat Lao Tzu's money!"

Jiang Cheng was speechless for a while, he didn't know how long Li Baoguo's illness had been dragging on, from being able to have surgery to when his physical condition no longer allowed surgery...

"I checked the information." Jiang Cheng took the kettle on the table, looked inside, made sure there were no spiders or cockroaches in it, and then went into the kitchen to boil the water. "Lung cancer can be cured if you cooperate with the doctor well." extend……"

"Fart you!" Li Baoguo interrupted him, "You are really stupid in reading and reading! Your father can't even sit still playing cards, his chest hurts like hell, he can't sleep, and you still have to fart! You want to send money to the hospital! You are an idiot who waits for people to cheat you in the future! Why don’t you give some money to your father when you are so rich!”

Jiang Cheng supported the table with his hands, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding it in for a long time before suppressing his emotions: "Then what do you think?"

"Let me tell you!" Li Baoguo pointed at him, "In my life, I can live as I want, I can scold whoever I want, I can beat whoever I want! I live in style!"

Jiang Cheng looked at him, but couldn't find how his words were related to the previous topic.

"You don't have to hypocritically persuade me to get treatment," Li Baoguo said, and started coughing again. After coughing for a while, he lowered his head and spit on the ground, rubbing his shoes, "I don't have the money to go for treatment, my three children, Not one with a conscience!"

Although Jiang Cheng's stomach turned violently and he quickly turned his head away, he still saw bloodshot eyes on the ground.

"You should have medical insurance, right?" Jiang Cheng said.

"You think you don't have to pay for the medical insurance?" Li Baoguo stared at him, "There are still a bunch of self-funded medicines! Doctors are so fucking unscrupulous that they prescribe self-paid medicines for you!"

"Doctors treat diseases, so they won't just..." Jiang Cheng felt that he had no way to communicate with Li Baoguo.

"What did you want to say when you came here today?" Li Baoguo interrupted him, "I have said so much nonsense, is there a point?"

"I just wanted to ask about your illness." Jiang Cheng said.

"I thought it was your conscience to send some money to your father for medical treatment," Li Baoguo laughed, "So you came here to find out how long before I die."

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and collected himself.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Baoguo: "Call Li Hui and Li Qian and ask them to come back sometime and discuss..."

"Don't fucking order me!" Li Baoguo roared, with hoarse phlegm in his voice, "It's not your turn..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Cheng violently kicked over the table in front of him, pointed at him and yelled, "Give it to me! Shut up!"

Li Baoguo was stunned for a moment, but lost his voice.

"If you want to get medical treatment, ask them to come back and discuss what to do." Jiang Cheng still pointed at him, "If you want to get medical treatment, it's up to you! Even if I want to pay, I will pay it directly to the hospital. I want money to gamble here, don't even think about it!"

Li Baoguo looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, as if he had said something ridiculous.

Jiang Cheng ignored him, went into the kitchen, waited for the water to boil, poured water into the kettle, and then slammed the door and left Li Baoguo.

He didn't feel sorry for Li Baoguo that much, he was afraid that if he left, Li Baoguo would turn his head and forget about the pot of water, rushing out to play cards, if the water was not boiled dry and a fire started, it would have to be water to set the fire Put out the gas poisoning in the field.

After going out, I walked towards Gu Fei's shop for a while against the night breeze, and the boredom that filled my heart finally dissipated a little bit.

He turned into a side road and took out his cell phone as he walked.

A soft whistle came from the tree shadow on the left side of the road. He turned his head and saw Gu Fei leaning against the wall.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Cheng walked over.

"Waiting for you." Gu Fei smiled.

Seeing Gu Fei's smile, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a lot lighter on his body, and all kinds of complicated and inexplicable and unreasonable emotions suddenly surged up.

He went over and hugged Gu Fei.

Gu Fei hugged him, patted him lightly on the back a few times, took two steps back with him in his arms, and retreated into the shadows: "Is everything going well?"

"I don't know what to say." Jiang Cheng smacked Gu Fei's shoulder with his chin a few times, then turned his head and bit his neck, "You've been drinking, boyfriend."

"Well, I drank two or two," Gu Fei said with a smile, "It came out after brushing your teeth, can you still smell it?"

"Nonsense is your smell," Jiang Cheng said.

"Then I took off my clothes?" Gu Fei said.

"Be civilized," Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue, "I'm just asking, and I don't dislike you."

"Do you want to go back?" Gu Fei asked, "I'll take you back."

"Li Yan and the others left?" Jiang Cheng let go of him and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go early," Gu Fei said, "I went to karaoke, my store is closed, and Er Miao also went back."

"How about," Jiang Cheng sighed softly, "Go to my place and stay tonight, I don't want to be alone."

"Okay." Gu Fei nodded.

This was originally a great night, a great opportunity to roll around, lick, gnaw, kiss, touch, but because Jiang Cheng was in a more dilapidated mood than Li Baoguo, he hugged Gu Fei rolled back and forth on the bed twice and didn't want to move anymore.

"How about I help you," Jiang Cheng put his hand into Gu Fei's pants, "I..."

"Hey," Gu Fei laughed, and grabbed his hand, "You are bitter and hateful, if you fuck me up, I have to wonder if I didn't give you enough money."

"Get out!" Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand and lay on his back on the bed, "Fuck! Come here and give your Uncle Cheng a squeeze."

"Okay." Gu Fei sat up, placed one of his legs on top of his own, and squeezed it lightly a few times, "Master Cheng, do you think this strength is okay?"

"Continue," Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and waved his hand, "There will be rewards for pinching it comfortably."

Gu Fei smiled and didn't speak, he squeezed his leg up and down.

Jiang Cheng lay with his eyes closed for a while before he said softly: "Li Baoguo has terminal lung cancer. I checked the information when I waited for him to come back today. His condition is probably not very good. He is coughing up blood, and his face and neck are swollen."

"Is he not going to cure him?" Gu Fei asked.

"Well, that probably means that there is no money to treat." Jiang Cheng frowned, "When he came back, he still had a poker game with the street corner."

"Then why did you talk to him?" Gu Fei asked again.

"He still wants money," Jiang Cheng said, "but I guess it's not for medical treatment, what I mean is..."

Jiang Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Gu Fei with his arms under his head: "Don't call me an idiot, and don't call me Holy Father."

"Don't say." Gu Fei nodded.

"I thought, if he wants to be cured, I can pay together with Li Hui and Li Qian. He has medical insurance, so he can't do surgery now, but he can still do radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so he can control it a little bit," Jiang Cheng said. would be too high..."

"How much do you plan to take?" Gu Fei asked.

"Ten thousand," Jiang Cheng said, "I don't care how much Li Hui and the others pay."

"Well," Gu Fei nodded, "Then you have to please me more, and I can introduce you to some jobs that don't take up class time."

Jiang Cheng laughed: "It doesn't sound like a good thing to say."

"What if Li Hui and the others don't take the money?" Gu Fei asked again.

Jiang Cheng stared at him in a daze.

What if Li Hui and the others don't take the money?He really hadn't thought about this. He wanted to say it was impossible, after all, he was his own father... But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not impossible.

"What do you think...if they don't take the money, what should I do?" Jiang Cheng put his hands on his eyes and sighed softly. His mind was in a mess right now, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Tell me first why you gave the money." Gu Fei said.

"I don't want to be called heartless by him, and I don't want to hear him staring at me and telling me about your father, your father..." Jiang Cheng said, "As I said, I very... hate being accused of this, and after all, he... ...I can't do it exactly like a stranger..."

"Understood." Gu Fei took his hand and pressed it lightly in his palm, "If it was me, Brother Cheng, you can give this money to Li Baoguo, regardless of whether Li Hui and the others will give it or not."

"Why, let him gamble?" Jiang Cheng said.

"If he really wants to be treated," Gu Fei looked at him, "If you give it to him, he will treat it himself. If he just doesn't want to be treated, you force him to pay the money, and he won't say hello to you." .”

Jiang Cheng didn't speak.

"I don't want to say something nice," Gu Fei said, "He should have given up and is just waiting to die. If you have to give it to him, just give it to him. If you want to eat, drink, or bet, you can do whatever you want. He can still do it." Be more comfortable, but don't give it all at once, give it one or two thousand at a time."

Jiang Cheng drew his voice and sighed again.

"Also, this money must be given in front of Li Hui and Li Qian. Li Qian is fine, it's mainly Li Hui." Gu Fei said.

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng responded, and closed his eyes again, "Got it."

Gu Fei didn't say anything else, and continued to pinch his legs.

After a while, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes again: "Gu Fei."

"Huh?" Gu Fei looked at him.

"Please hug," Jiang Cheng said, "I'm a little scared."

"Here we come," Gu Fei smiled, and lay down next to him, stretched out his arms to hug him tightly, and stroked his head, "Snoring, I can't be scared."

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes.

Gu Fei picked up a bunch of his hair and stroked it again: "Rolling, stroking, stroking, I won't scare you."

"Damn," Jiang Cheng laughed, "you're shameless."
